PLC Arbitration has published a toolkit, bringing together its key resources on challenging arbitration awards in the English courts. The toolkit is available on the PLC Arbitration homepage. (Free access).
There are three ways in which an arbitration award can be challenged in the English courts under the Arbitration Act 1996:
  • Challenge to the tribunal's substantive jurisdiction (section 67).
  • Challenge on the ground of serious irregularity affecting the tribunal, the proceedings or the award (section 68).
  • Appeal on a point of law (section 69).
For ease of access, PLC Arbitration has collated its key resources on challenging awards under the Act in a toolkit, Challenging arbitration awards in the English courts toolkit. The toolkit provides links to the practice notes, standard documents, checklists and legal updates that are relevant to each means of challenge, conveniently organised under separate headings.
